This CL adds composite coercions which reify the choices made by the typechecker in allowing a closure wrapping as explicit casts and wrappers. The code generators should now be able to just walk the coercion generating the appropriate code. Thoughts or suggestions about the design of this very welcome.
The closure wrapping decision process has changed as well. Instead of simply checking reverse subtyping (which allowed some closure wrapping which would change the runtime type), we now essentially do a more extended subtype check which allows downcasts (and a few other conversions) on arguments, and attempts to wrap or downcast the body. This enables wrapping for a common pattern we have encountered in which an untyped (and hence dynamically typed) lambda is passed into a typed context. It also allows closure wrapping for some cases that we may (or may not) prefer to reject, such as allowing an int -> int to be coerced to an Object -> Object and vice versa.
In follow up CLs, I will add a reifier which translates coercions to ast nodes, and will add some flags to try out different closure wrapping strategies.

This adds some checker tests for subtyping generics. One test checks that generics are invariant in various ways, another checks that raw type subtyping works, and the last test covers multiple raw type subtyping for multiple parameter generics.
For the last test, it's not clear that this is the behavior that we want, but it's what's currently implemented.

We were getting some corner cases of function subtyping in the presence of named and optional parameters wrong. This CL fixes the function subtyping method, and adds a test for a range of cases.

For now I ripped out the temp machinery. With the current writer there's no easy way to put the variable declaration in the right place. We can revive it when we have something, like the NestedPrinter from source_maps pkg. For now cascades are only generated when the target is a simple identifier. (That too is wrong in the case of getters, with multiple evaluations, but it's less wrong. At least we don't mess up the syntactic structure of the generated output.)

This CL adds support for marking tests as known failures using the following syntax:
/*expectation1::shouldbe::expectation2*/
where expectation is either "level:StaticInfo" as before, or "pass".
The meaning is that the test is currently exhibiting incorrect behavior expectation1, but should exhibit behavior expectation2.
The test will succeed so long as expectation1 is matched, but a summary of the number of "shouldbe" expectations is printed at the end of running the test script. Currently this is just implemented as grep, we can make this fancier eventually.
I'm not particularly attached to the syntax, feel free to suggest alternatives.
This CL also adds a bunch of fairly mechanical tests of subtyping, a number of which we are definitely failing, and some of which we may or may not be failing depending on where we wish to insert automatic fixup code.

This adds a skeleton new type checker which just reuses the existing checker for now, but will be filled in with the new type rules.
It also adds a dart backend code generator which currently just spits out the original dart code unchanged (except for (lack of) formatting) into the output directory. By default it uses the dart_style formatter to format the output. This sometimes hits issues, so there is an option to turn this off.
There are flags to control the various options added.

This isn't quite right yet - it's in between our current static rules
and what we've been discussing changing. Will fix up more tomorrow,
but wanted to put this out for initial feedback.
